I would still like to see a shim and as one default implementation you could use SharpZibLib. Von: Jiří Činčura [mailto:j...@cincura.net] Gesendet: Freitag, 29. Juli 2016 15:05 An: firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Zlib library Umm, yeah. Massive 9

Umm, yeah. Massive 9 votes. Looks like SharpZipLib it is. I checked right now and it's using MIT license now, which should allow to take a piece of code and use. -- Mgr. Jiří Činčura Independent IT Specialist --

OK. Vote here http://goo.gl/X4hCxG . Not sure we'll get enough votes, though, to make it significant for decision. Arguments are welcome as well. -- Mgr. Jiří Činčura Independent IT Specialist -- What NetFlow Analyzer

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Zlib library

SharpZipLib looks to be more actively maintained and with clearer and more permissive licensing. It's a dependency of most of my project anyway so I would not mind it. An alternative to an external dependency is an intree copy with unnecesary bits(eg. bzip2,tar) removed. Out of curiosity why is

[Firebird-net-provider] Zlib library

Hi *, Other topic to think about. The compression is Firebird is based on zlib compression. That one is not in the framework. So unless somebody contributes solid and proven implementation, when and if the compression will make it to master, I'd have to introduce dependency. Maybe some sort of
